Service overview
Export permissions depend on product category, destination, end-use and any relevant trade-control regime.
PSW subscription, customs role association and commodity-specific permits are different requirements. A permit to trade one product may not establish permission for another, and sector-specific certificates may be required.
Who is eligible for Export Licence and Permit Applications?
